  From half. Heavily sherried. Reminds me of another lower-end CDP half I had years ago, before I had had much sherry, which I also didn't care for and which I described then as "medicinal." ABV 15.5. Dunno. Once you get used to this for what it is you can keep donking it back just fine, but.

  Really pretty expression of grenache/CdP (raspberry and strawberry instead of generic clunky "FRUIT!!!" but talk about alcohol! The elegant fruit and light chalky tannin are overpowered and instead the generic saccharine/ alcoholic aspects of grenache dominate. Maybe in a cool year this bottling would be enjoyable.
  
  For the price, it's nice. Just let it air out for half a day to cool off

  Forward, fresh and vibrant, the wine is already delicious with its medium bodied, display of soft, sweet, peppery red fruits. The wine made its debut with the 2005 vintage.
